Oh mate you can't say roland out on here all of this love children will rip you apartDave2l said:Roland obviously wants to have a high influence on everything - which is going to end up being counter-active.
This decision is just really stupid and irritating. He is stubbornly over looking the possibility that Riga might just be the best man for the job - by sticking to his obvious original plan of bringing in someone else, regardless of how well Riga did.
Riga 100% deserved the chance to stay as manager and it saddens me that he has not been given it.
If only "Roland out" was applicable.
It's his way or the highway unfortunately.
Better get used to "the vision".

I reckon we'll go to RDs mini tournament with a team that is destined for relegation, and we will probably win it! He doesn't get the strength of the Championship - I am sure of that!1

I would much prefer to be recognised as a Duchaletetti than a Duchateletista0

Joke Joke Joke!!!!!!
This has been the most bizarre decision ever since we appointed Les Reed as manager. For a man who kept us is a bloody good achievement itself but I witnessed better football under him and things looked very promising for next season.
Now that idiot Roland has got rid of him, we will now appoint a manager who does not have a clue which players to keep and will take more time to bring in new players.
I felt optimistic after this season, now I'm not so sure.
No wonder why Standard Leige's fans protested against him. If you look at their record they had a manager change season after season, please don't tell me Roland is going to be like Abramovich?!???!??1 - Sponsored links:

I do wonder if Jose Riga is a short term 'take the cash' type of manager , ie the Belgium equivalent of that Mr Appleton fella we see on here quite a bit .... except better.0

Football fans dont like change except if its instant gratification in terms of results. Looking from outside....would you be underwhelmed by RD's net record at SL?DiscoCAFC said:Joke Joke Joke!!!!!!

RD wont spend beyond his means, wont bring any sorts half his age to the club and wont use the crazy world of football to wash his dodgy money

As long as we are successful, however we could win promotion and the FA cup next season and RD would still probably get rid of him...........calydon_road said:

For what it's worth, in the world of projects, Riga was an interim who was brought in to do a job, i.e., keep us up. Many interim managers want to stay on because they convince the stakeholders that there is more work to do and they can deliver. I like Riga and really rate what he did.
My hunch is that Chris Powell was never going to be at CAFC next August and that a new head coach has been lined up for a while. SCP only went because the risk of relegation became too great.
Cue allegations of dastardly behaviour but I prefer a clinical approach to events which led us from Curbishley to Dowie all those years ago. From events and announcements so far I remain convinced Duchatelet has a plan - what it is and whether the execution is expert remains to be seen.
As some have posted elsewhere, best not get too attached to any one individual at the club for some will come and go. They are all working for the badge and we will know soon enough whether our star is rising or not.1 -
Projects, deliverables, stakeholders, functional testing, short term deliverables with interim managers.
No personal offence intended SR, but you are quite possibly the most polar opposite to my approach to club supporting I have ever come across. The beauty of football, We really do live in completely different worlds !13 -
This is purely speculation on my part! But the way I see it is the Riga probably didn't agree to the "strategy going forward" that Roland has! Most probably the same issues that Powell had! Riga was brought in to do a job he's done it now Roly wants to move him on and bring in a man with a similar vision to him.. We have to wait and see if it works!1

Jose did a great job with a bag of spanners, and then he is discarded.
My mate Frank lives in Brussels and watches football on the TV every now and then, he will work for a Belgian waffle and a ticket on the Eurostar once a month.
He's waiting for the douche's call as I type.0 - Sponsored links:

Sorry I haven't got time to read all this... But where is the poster " in Jose we trust"?
MOVE ON and get over it.

JR came to the same conclusion as CP ie that most of the Farm players weren't up to it.

I don't think there's anything wrong with the model. Watford had some very decent players come in through their network. It was just that the continental signings that we made were pretty shite for us (except AA, who never seemed quite fit). For those that are pro-network moaning about negativity doesn't change that. For those that are anti-network it doesn't prove the model can't work. I don't think Powell didn't play them because of a fit of pique and I don't think Jose came to the same conclusion to try and stick it to his boss. I think that the message to Roland has to be that we're behind what you're trying to achieve, but that the quality has to be up to scratch or it will just devalue an asset that you've developed. You look at Angellica, Fabbrini, Vydra and Abdi and think, I'd like a bit of that. Then you get Reza, Thuram, Koc and Nego and you think it has to be some kind of practical joke. Riga and Powell are both gents and both knew their stuff. IMO the most dangerous thing Roland can have at this point is someone who tells him what he wants to hear, a turd polisher.3

Signed on a short term contract. Fulfils contract. Then needs to be told why he's been let go? Would have thought the contract's length would have told him.
I like some of the touches Riga did with the squad. The squad liked him. I would have thought it would be appropriate to have a form of exit interview. He coached Powell's squad well, but was ably assisted by Powell's backroom staff. It seems people are all too eager to judge, then have a small period of matchday evidence, and judge some more.
If Duchatelet is getting a new manager in, why would he discuss this with Riga? By telling Riga he's looking for someone else, does that not influence other clubs as soon as there is a sniff? Sure I'd prefer to have a gentlemanly conversation with Riga, but considering people's irrational responses on here I'd rather Duchatelet's considered approach.0 -
Riga is not complaining about being let go, from his comments. He's complaining about not even knowing why he cannot be considered for the new permanent position. Many people on short term contracts, who do well in them, get offered a longer position. It is therefore not "irrational" for people to wonder why Riga has been treated this way. This is not how good businesses behave.ColinTat said:Signed on a short term contract. Fulfils contract. Then needs to be told why he's been let go?

I am sure SR does not need me to speak for him but there is a time and place for everything. The emotion of supporting of a football club comes from the game, the attachments to the managers, coaches, players who metaphorically pull on the shirt for the club in your name.
It is human nature to relate to these participants most of whom we will never meet.
All of that is terrific until however you recognize that each of those participants, no matter what type of person or personality they are, are there because they are being paid to do so. That is in no way a criticism of those participants it is a fact of life of professional sport. If it is their career they need to be paid if not by us then by someone else.
At that point you then have determine as a club how you can best afford to pay them or someone better if you can afford it. Must as it may upset or bore the pants of people it is a fundamental to the very ability to enjoy the emotional experience.
With an organisation wallowing in £32mn of debt the ability to actually pay for the participants to create the emotional experience does tend to focus the mind.
